It is their last series before the all star break, where they hope to gain ground in the standings after a horrible ten game stretch. The MLB draft will take place starting Saturday and work throughout the weekend, as the Blue Jays look to bolster their prospect pool to continue to build for the future. This weekend can do two things for the Blue Jays: it can set them up for success in the short and long term, or it could put a nail in the coffin on the season and possible set the Blue Jays back if they miss on their picks. There is a lot on the line, as we break down the series preview between the Jays and Padres, discuss the injury report and how it could impact this roster down the stretch, as well as look into who the Blue Jays could look to select in the 2026 MLB draft right here on Locked On Blue Jays.</p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What an outing from Dylan Cease. He tried his best to secure the no hitter, but after 118 pitches and 8 innings of work, the giants were able to end the no hit bid in the bottom of the 9th inning. The offense was also firing on all cylinders, scoring five runs in the first inning and never looking back. This was one of the most entertaining games of the season, as the Blue Jays were so close to making history. In this episode, we break down the phenomenal outing from Dylan Cease, while diving into all the positives from the rubber match of this series, as the Blue Jays look to carry this momentum into the last series before the all-star break.

They take your calls and texts, and get right to Dylan Cease carrying a no-hit bid into the ninth inning - with 11 strikeouts on a career-high 118 pitches, just how dominant was Cease in this one? With the pitch count rising early, was it a tough decision for John Schneider to let him pitch until he gave up a hit? They also get into the offence knocking in 10 runs, including an early grand slam for Kazuma Okamoto, and late home runs from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (!) and George Springer - is the new stuffed dragon responsible?
